Nocturnal Conspiracies: Nineteen Dreams From December 1979 to September 1994 by David B.

4.0

Well, I must say, you should probably read David B's Epileptic first before anything else because it's such a personal exploration of a boy growing up in France with a brother who has epileptic seizures. It's more extensive and somehow more imaginative. The dreams are also very creative and abstract and make sense in the way dreams can only make sense. It was fascinating to see into David B's mind knowing his autobiographical history. There are a great many allusions to dreams in Epileptic but to have them as the center of the topic was quite different and unique. The drawings, as ever, are fantastic but what's more to love is the baring all of one's subconscious soul. I feel like this novel will grow on me like a fine record does and I will come back to it more and more as my life continues on.
